Engagements

Sheila + Chris - Sager Conservation, Stirling, ON

They are intimate, relaxed, and there are always a lot of laughs. And what could make a session any better?

Some wine and the cutest puppy ever!!

Really though, I have been incredibly lucky with the "clients" I have had. They are always fun, down-to-earth, relaxed, and goofy (especially Sheila and Chris)! Very much my cup of tea.

Sheila and Chris may be the cutest couple I have met - second to Mark and I, obviously (just kidding)! They were cracking jokes left and right, giving me major PDA - which people in love should be doing (if they want)! - and really knew how to make each other smile. They go together like cheese and pepperoni on a pizza!

So, enjoy looking at their love and their adorable puppy, Rogue! :)

Raleigh + Sid - Campbell's Orchard, Prince Edward County, ON

Another one off the "Photography Bucket List"!

Raleigh and Sid's proposal was SO fun to capture! I was definitely shaking, nervous that I would miss the moment or that Sid would see me and the surprise would be blown. But it all worked out and Raleigh nailed the proposal!

I am so happy that I got to be apart of this exciting next step in their journey together! And I hope that I have the chance to capture more proposals (people, this is a MUST/ SHOULD DO step on your way to marriage!!).

Megan + Bryan - Hall's Harbour, Annapolis Valley, NS

Megan and Bryan's Hall's Harbour engagement was a stunning one to shoot!

Hall's Harbour is one of my favourite places to go when I am back home in Nova Scotia. And being able to photograph not only my first engagement there, but also with someone that I have known for a very big chunk of my life, made this shoot one of my all-time favourites!

Megan and Bryan have such a great love and an awesome sense of humour which made photographing them all the more fun to do! Their goofiness came out, laughs were had, and love was captured.

Jessica + Trevor - Little Bluff, ON

Jessica and Trevor are such a wonderful couple!

They drove all the way to Little Bluff - a spot neither had ever been to before - and were up for any and all of my suggestions! I wish that I could photograph these two every week because they were so amazing to work with and their chemistry was a beautiful thing to witness!

I am really looking forward to photographing their wedding this September in the Bay of Quinte!

Shannon + Peter - Camp Quin-Mo-Lac, Tweed.

Shannon and Peter’s camp Quin Mo Lac engagement shoot was a dream!

Located in Tweed, Ontario (about 30 minutes North of Belleville), this camp is actual Heaven on earth!

We were the only one’s there but you could feel the energy and fun times that were and are had here. It was the perfect spot to capture the love that these two have for each other. A strong, fun, and growing love!

This engagement shoot was one of my absolute favourites! I know that their October wedding will be as well!

Kristal + Josh - Shannonville, ON

It’s so awesome when I get to escape the “city” (Belleville doesn’t feel like a city) and head to where trees and fields take over.

Kristal and Josh’s engagement session was a boiler (it was the one random day in October when it was 30 something degrees..) but they handled it like champs! And along with being awesome with the heat, they brought along Kristal’s dog, Teddy, for a few shots which is the best!

I loved learning about Josh’s love for Nova Scotia and their plans to build a home where we took a few photos of the two of them (it’s just down the road from her parents which is my dream - to be close to my family, not her’s, haha!

Let’s hope that next September is not has hot for when these two tie the knot. :)

Taylor + Shane - Potter's Creek, Belleville, ON

And the award for the most go-with-the-flow couple goes to Taylor and Shane!

It was a decent day up until it was time to take their engagement photos. The unpredictable and cold November weather began almost immediately. The rain came down and it was not ideal, but that did not stop these two from getting their photos done!

These two Bay of Quinte natives were up for everything and made me forget how cold it was. Not only that, but their positive attitudes brought back the sun just in time to finish their session!

Rain may “dampen” your spirits when it’s time for photos, but don’t let it prevent you from getting out with your loved one(s), having some fun, and maybe doing a little rain dance, all while I capture those moments for you!

Kirsten + Nick - Signal Brewery / Vanderwater, Belleville, ON

My first session of the year was a chilly one (-15C..). But it may also be my favourite session to date!

I love couples that are not only up for everything and anything, but also those who bring their creativity with them and end up leaving me inspired. Kirsten and Nick kicked off my 2019 year with so much inspiration and positivity after a quiet start to the winter season.

By splitting their session up with a stop at Signal Brewery (one of the coolest spots in the area no matter what time of year it is!) and then finishing up with peacock chairs, their sweet pup joining us, and a few smoke bombs at Vanderwater Conservation Area (my personal favourite spot), this session truly had it all!

These two froze their toes off during this session but their destination wedding next year will make it all worth it!

Cheers to Kirsten and Nick!

Christine + Andrew - Campbellford, ON

Christine and Andrew’s engagement session started off as every other session starts - not knowing what to do in front of the camera. But quickly, we got the ball rolling, the camera snapping, and these two were in the zone! The laughing was constant, the smiles were from ear to ear, fun was being has, and the love was strong. All these things are the magic ingredients to what makes the perfect photography session!

If Christine and Andrew’s engagement session is any indication of how their wedding will be next year, I know it will be a day to remember!

Raziya + Bobby - Compass Rose

This proposal was right out of a fairytale book!

Not only was the couple beautiful inside and out, but this spot…. holy moly this spot is MAGICAL!

I had never heard of the Compass Rose until Bobby reached out to me and asked if I could capture his proposal to the love of his life. This is the perfect location for any special occasion!

I am honestly lost for words when it comes to the Compass Rose - and this proposal, haha! It was just truly an amazing experience and I HIGHLY suggest taking a peek at this spot for any upcoming special events or even just the perfect weekend getaway!

Allison + Ben - Presqu'ile Provincial Park, ON.

I forgot how amazing Presqu’ile Provincial Park is to photograph at!

Allison and Ben’s engagement was at the beginning of May, and with the cooler Spring that we had here and all of the rain causing higher water levels, we were somewhat limited to where we could go.

But, we worked with what we had and I could not have been more happy with the outcome!

These two were so incredible to work with! No matter what I told them to do or position I put them in, they did not hold back and just nailed every shot!

They really brought their A-game to this session - and they would bring back a month later!
